If a card is drawn at random from a well shuffled pack of 52 playing cards, then the probability that it is either an ace or a spade card is
Options
- A4 13
- B1 13
- C1 52
- D17 52
Correct answer
A. 4 13
Step-by-step solution
There are total 52 cards Hence number of sample space =52 We know that, total cards of spade =13 and total aces =4 and number of aces of spade =1 Therefore, the probability of the card drawn is a card of spade or an ace = 13 52 + 4 52 - 1 52 = 16 52 = 4 13
